Holy Crow!

It looks like the glowing rod in the opening of the Simpson's that goes down Homer's back. You can call it the radioactive mod! I need to do this to one of my ZZ's! What were the blue LED's? Any particular brand and model?

Sweet...

I've played with other LED's...but haven't gotten around to the blue ones yet...gads they're strong little buggers! Just wasn't sure if this was a property for all of them, or just a particular brand/model.

Thanks for the info...might have to head to the Rat Shack today!

Chris
